Huh, that's interesting. I always thought if you beat a trainer you get money. Or is that just the games? I don't think the anime really mentions money...
Has it ever been explained? I've always thought that the Gym leaders should give money for winning like they do in the game.
I wonder if Ash gets his money transferred directly to a bank account. And maybe the Trainer card is some sort of credit/ debit card in the Anime, which they use for transactions.
I think that it's possible that Ash (or his friends) bring their own money with them, but it wasn't mentioned.
I haven't really seen them spending any money either. I do remember Brock going to the Pokemarts to buy some stuff, but they never showed him spending money.

I don't think that is possible. People can't be handing over all the stuff Brock buys in PokeMarts for free! :\ There's got to be some sort of currency or the economy would collapse! Unless they are still following barter system. lolOr maybe theres no such thing as money in the pokemon world?
I do agree with that but you need to take into consideration that it is only a tv program, I bet the writers probably haven't even even thought about money xD Good job on pointing it out though, seems like an interesting topic!~I don't think that is possible.

Except for the fact that trainer cards haven't been seen in the anime. It can't be the Pokedex either, because Brock doesn't have one.Just like what CliveKoopa said, your theory is very great.
According to Takeshi Shudō's novelization, she runs Pallet Town's only restaurant, Pallet House, which she inherited from her mother. When she was younger, she dreamed of becoming both a model and a Pokémon trainer, but abandoned those dreams to run the restaurant after Ash was born. Brock once commented that she would make a great Pokémon trainer because of her perseverance.
